marijuana right next to it.sargeant j-d nelson says the owner 32 year old assif mayar got the reptile in 1996. we ask him why he has an alligator and he says that he got it to commemorate the death of tupack shakur.. >> at first i did not know what it was and i thought that it was fate. once i noticed that the was making movement you cannot tell from its container whether or not it can get out or not. i do not believe that it can but when your sitting next there, you do not want to take that chance. >> reporter: neighbors did not want to show their face on camera but one saw him

taking the allocator out of the house. the oakland zoo is now caring for the animal. kron 4 has learned it is pretty sick and is being treated by zoo personell. the owner faces drug charges, as well as owning an exotic animal without a permit. in castro valley reggie kumar kron 4 news. >> pam: new tonight at eight bart police discover a man's home in richmond. filled with stolen bikes from all over the bay area. kron 4's scott rates shows us the coincidence that lead police to the alleged thief's doorstep. >> reporter: 10 bikes, 57 bicycle tires, 24 wheels, 26 wheels with tires, 21 bike seats, 4 frames, a gun, and some ammo, that's what bart police say they discovered in the richmond home of 57- year-old marque moore these are pictures taken by bart police just after arresting moore. investigators saying it was this craigslist ad moore posted that lead them to his front door.

according to investigators one of the victims, saw the craigslist ad and quickly realized that the idem for sale -- was his bike a bike that just so happened to be stolen from his home in san francisco three months ago. the victim told moore he wanted to buy the bike, and they agreed to meet at the ashby bart station in berkley but what moore didn't know is that the victim had alerted bart police, and they would be waiting there for him during a phone call today the victim tells me he did get his bike back, and that he is very grateful that the bart police were able to make an arrest now investigators are hoping other victims will step forward. and bart police are asking anyone who thinks that one of those bikes may belong to give them a call, will have to show proof of ownership, and receipt of police report.

as for moore, he is being held in the glen dyer jail, facing several charges. scott rates, kron 4. >> pam: tonight. we're learning new details about that oil tanker which side- swiped the bay bridge on monday. here's video from sky- 7 showing the scene. visibility was reportedly very low - before the accident. and there are regulations on the bay. which would prevent a vessel from traveling during heavy fog. but as kron four news has learned. the bay bridge is exempt from those regulations. kron four's terisa estacio looked into this today she joins us live from treasure island with more on what she found out. terisa? >> at the time of the incident monday morning officials say visibility at the bay bridge was down to a quarter mile. currently, if this ship was near several areas in the bay referred to as critical

maneuvering areas. it would not have been allowed to proceed. and leave it's dock to head out to sea. harbor rules prevent vessels from taking off if visibility is less than a half of a mile. take a look at this list. it shows several of the critical manever areas. or cma's in the sf bay. the richmond bridge, the san mateo brdige, the oakland harbor and richmond harbor are on the list. but not the bay bridge. why not - officials say when the rules were put into place following the cosco busan tanker accident. it was debated and then decided it would be safer to allow passage around the bay bridge because blocking could end up causing a traffic jam of sorts and could lead to other serious consequences like vessels hitting one another. john berge was part of the

negotiations to create the cmas. he says in light of this new accident, it is probably time to go back and review putting the bay bridge on the list. >> i think that it is a fundamental issue to how to deal with pestles but it is now a time to revisit the issue dealing with -- both vessels. i do not know if the critical issue is that what happened but also prevention. in addition berge says - what is vital to the case right now is that although there wasn't an accident, there could have been one. the coast guard has also agreed and at the attorney linking speculation to the pilot would be highly premature. treasure island, terisa estacio, kron 4. >> jacqueline: we are looking at the system price to the and san jose and
